Have ants made a party out of your home?
According to PestWorld, there are almost 700 species of ants in the United States. They’re highly social animals, meaning if you see one traipsing through your home, he’s probably about to call his whole colony for a house party. Like with so many other pests, it’s best to get ahead of the issue then wait until it’s too late.

How Can I Prevent Ant Infestations?
UCIPM (University of California Integrated Pest Management) suggests taking the following precautions to stop ants from infesting your home:
- Seal cracks and crevices inside and out
- Be sure to keep food in sealed containers, especially sugary foods like honey and syrups.
- Proactively look for ant nesting sites. Potted plants are common homes for ants and should be removed and sanitized immediately if you suspect a nest is inside.
